The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-03-18

The Sentinel went so far as to give the
names of Republican Senators who drew mon
ey on President Smiths warrant and the
names we gave were those of johnson, Sears
and Duncan. Not one of these Senators ever
denied the charge, for they could not. The fact
that Republican Senators accepted President
Smiths warrants while refusing to participate
in the business of legislation was a confession
that they were abusing their trusts for parti-
san purposes. -Sentinel.
The Sentinel either deliberately or ignor-
antly falsifes the record. Senator Duncan
promptly denied, over his own name, that he
drew any money by President Smiths war
rant while the Senate warrant book shows
conclusively that Green Smiths assertion,
backed up and repeated by both the organs
of the revolutionists-the News and Sentinel
is absolutely false.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

The Journal has been saying all along that
what the Democratic party il this State needed
S4hore than anything else was harmony. That
the brethren coming to realization of this
great truth is indicated by the Washington
correspondent of the New York World, who
has been looking into Indiana politics and
says:
"Mr. Turpie apparently realizes that there
is too much discord among the State leaders,
and thinks what appointments are to be made
in the State should be filled with view to
creating harmony. Quite a large percentage
of the party opposes the nomination of Smith,
because of his alleged arbitrary rulings while
presiding officer of the Senate, believing that
his appointment would serve to strengthen
and arouse the Republican prejudice to such
an extent that to carry the State will be next
to an impossibility. Friends of Senator-elect
| Turpie say he will arrive here at an early date,
when he will meet the President for the first
time and talk over the situation. Mr. Cleve-
land has grown much interested in the Indiana
situation, and evidently realizes that the State
will be in danger year hence"
| The Democratic chickens are coming home
to roost early, and the managers find difficulty
in disposing of them. 1t was an easy matter
to manipulate manikin Smith while he was

white lady who swore that the defendant was
her slave, his first wife was the slave Of a
.neighbor, and they were married in slavery.
AS soon as this testimony was given, motion
was made to dismiss the indictment on the
ground that slave marriage was not legal
marriage, and the prisoner had, therefore, no
legal wife living when, in 1877, he married
second time. The question was new, and the
court took it under advisement 1t was the
policy Of shareholders to encourage marriages
among their slaves, but not to recognize them
as legal, and in this case the law of Kentucky
would probably govern.

LIQUOR IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The women of Pennsylvania have taken less
interest in the suffrage question than their
sisters in other States, if the absence Of agita-
ton of the subject may be regarded as an in
dication. They are to have a voice in the
regulation of the liquor traffic, however, in
spite of this Indifference. The license law in
force in that State provides that permits for
the sale of liquor shall be issued in accordance
with the will Of the people of the locality
specified, as expressed in petitions and re-
monstrances. It is held by the courts that ell
signers to the petitions, whether men or
women, must be counted provided they were
Of legal age and resided in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed saloon. This lsssves
the question of license in the hands of the
people without regard to sex, and. as women
will sign remonstrances against liquor selling
when they might not take advantage of the
right to vote, were it given them, the weight
Of the moral sentiment Of the female part Of
the community may be more accurately
measured and more directly felt than by
means Of the ballot.

indianapolis News.
The liquor law is made and provided for the
liquor traffic 1t is designed to control the bust
ness The case of societies of known probity and
reputation, like the MGnnerchor the Lyra,
Jewish societies ard other bona fide associations
who admit only mbers, who do not traffic in
intoxicants. but who provide for themselves bev-
erages in this way-these cases do not come I'M
der the law. Wine and beer are drunk, but
they not traficked. not bought and sold for
profit, put upon the public. To such things
the law forbddng the liquor traffic has no rela-
tion--manifsstly. for they are not traffic. But
the distinction plain. If, under pretense of
such a thing lot of red-nose bummers and
beer-guzzlers think they can get together and
form club society with headquarters at a
convenient saloon and thus defy the law, they
are mistaken, and the police ought to. and
doubtless will, come down upon all such with a
heavy hand The law is not ass, Mr.. Bundle
the beadle, to the contrary, notwithstanding
The law is not to be trifed with to crafty the
iepraved thirst of druukards and the cupdty
of drunkard makers. Societies such as we have
referred to. are clean and clear of this en-
tapglement as cooperative entertainment in a
private house-a progressive euchre party or a
whist party; but sham clubs-swill societies
meeting on Sundays in the back room of a saloon
ARE to be suppressed with vigor and lasting eff
feet.

THE State officers have negotiated the
amount of the temporary loan authorized by
law 1880, 000) at the remarkable rate of $40
per cent. Here we have it, after a
continuation Of stupid partisan passion and
scheming, which blocked the wheels of gov
ernment-a loan negotiated at a rate the low
est yet. It takes more than few politicians
to hurt Indiana The people at large look at
the people here and trust them.-News
Is the News conversant with the fact that
the loan was negotiated under the terms of a
law passed in 1852 If a loan were to be at
tempted under law passed by the late Legis-
lature, with one of the two houses disputing
the validity of the signature Of one of the
attesting officers, it is barely possible the

tenness at the southern prison was first ex-
posed by Democratic committee of the Leg
islature, and that, the Sentinel was the first
paper in the State to demand immediate and
radical publication"
We would remind the Sentinel that the
above is not true. The Senate committee did
not discover 'rottenness" to any extent in the
southern prison. They whtewashed the
prison all they possibly could, and for
days the Sentinel filled its columns with
editorials designed and intended to break the
force of the exposures made by the Republican
House committee.

sion of this city into the National League.

THE NATIONAL MUSICAL MEETING.

From the proceedings Of the meeting of the
committees havingin charge the arrangements
for the meeting Of the National Music Teach
ers Association, to be held in this city on the
9th, 9th, 7th and 8th of July, it will be seen
that the association is growing in Importance.
The annual meetings Of this organization are
increasing in interest, and there is no doubt
that the most critical musical audience that
ever assembled in America will be present on
that occasion. similar organization was
formed in England few years ago, which
will be represented at this convention for the
first time Additional interest is felt in this
meeting for the reason that it is the first ever
held in the West, this city being selected in
consequence Of its high reputation for the
public spirit of it's citizens, its central loca-
ton and its hotel and hall facilities.
A very large number of strangers will visit
this city for the first time on this occasion,
and it is very important that every citizen
shall do his full share to make this event a
great success. Representatives of the great
| newspapers will be here to report the proceed
| ings Of the convention and listen to the re-
| ctals and concerts.
| Indianapolis never has failed to do well
anything she undertook to do, and now the
| first thing in order is to secure at once the
| Sc. 500 guarantee fund asked for by the com
mittee 1t is not probable that any portion
of this guarantee will be called for as the re
ceipts for the three concerts, matinee and re
citals will more than meet the expenses.
There will be present number of eminent
composers, both from Europe and America
